Rolling Ball Sculpture #208 - Watch Video

1.8m Tall Custom Kinetic Rolling Ball Sculpture | 25mm Glass Marble Run
Welcome to the world of kinetic art! Step into a mesmerizing display of mechanical design, gravity, and rhythm. Standing 1.8 meters tall (5'11"), this hand-crafted rolling ball sculpture is designed to move 25mm (1 inch) solid glass marbles through a complex matrix of hand-formed wire pathways.

Whether you love mechanical engineering, metal fabrication, kinetic sculptures, or pure relaxation, this build brings together velocity, physics, and natural acoustic sound as the glass marbles carve their way through every custom track element.

Featured Mechanical Track Elements:

Tall & Flat Spirals: Watch momentum build through sweeping vertical drops and centrifugal flat spirals that keep the marbles floating along the wire edges.

High-Speed Loops & Zigzags: Precision-bent wire transfers potential energy into rapid directional changes, dramatic bank turns, and vertical loops.

See-Saw Switch: Dynamic mechanical switches alternate routes in real-time, sending successive marbles down completely different paths.

Serpentine Tracks: Curved, snake-like runs smooth out velocity while creating a rhythmic sound as the marbles roll across the tracks.

Multiball Tipping Arm: A weighted mechanical tipping arm holds multiple 25mm marbles in balance until critical mass is reached, triggering a multi-ball cascade down the structure!
